stories and songs Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Most baffling part of that nonsense is saying the song is "whiny." I took it as powerful and realistic and positive, not whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met Fan Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm not against Green Day venturing outside their familiar genres every now and then, I liked Nightlife a lot. Except I don't really like the specific genre they ventured into with this song, that Chris Daugherty butt rock type of thing. But I like this song okay, it's my least favorite of the three Revolution Radio songs we've heard so far. It's the lowest I've heard Billie Joe go with his voice in a long time. Unlike Bang Bang, this song was very predictable melodically, at every line Billie sang I knew what the melody for the next line would be and hoped to be wrong but I wasn't. Still, enjoyable all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBD and 21 guns are pop. but they are authentic. they sound like green day and you can hear their influences in those songs and they still have that edge, that makes those songs sound far from generic. judging from this song their influence must be david guetta now... it's not that i just don't like the song. the problem is that this is just a cheap shot for the top 40, where all songs sound like this. this is so not green day. before i knew someone else "co" wrote the song, i thought to myself after 10 seconds of listening "wow, someone must have wrote that shitty song for them".

Backyard Skulls Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I never realised how polarising this song was until reading the last few pages especially. Some people are just like 'nope' and then there's others who can relate the lyrics to their own struggles in life, myself included. Put it this way, green day have always been a little bit pop! I don't understand how (besides maybe sonically) this is drastically different from anything they've done before? They were never going to be a diy hardcore punk band or whatever. I mean compared to the trilogy the 3 songs we've heard are not even in the same league as the vast majority of the 37 songs they put out then!

ZSebs Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It's amazing how one song can make people so angry at a band. Green Day is by far my favorite band, but I don't like all of their songs. When Nightlife came out, I hated it. It was nothing that I came to love and expect from Green Day, but I didn't start saying shit like "HOW COULD THEY!? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. GOODBYE GREEN DAY. SELL OUTS! TOO POP FOR ME!" Like jeez if you don't like a song, that's fine. I respect that. But one song doesn't define a band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD are authentic, and I'm sure billie is writing his songs for himself in first position, not to fit the expectations of the fans or the masses .. and of course they try to aim to write "hits", but not as top priority you can like the song or dislike it, everyone is free to have his own opinion (but I'm honestly sick of people who cant explain their disliking with solid arguments) plus, maybe still breathing will be the "worst" song for you, but you can easily skip it and still listen to 11 other (probably well-written) songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaking out about something like this is pretty pointless in my opinion, it's not like they've suddenly gone to autotune and dubstep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you can be disappointed. I have been disappointed with a few songs too, as has everyone I assume. Didn't say your disappointment is pathetic. But you're barking up the wrong tree here, man. You don't like the song, we get it. Move on. There are tons of other songs for you to listen to. And please, you're obviously not the only one who has a deep connection to Green Day and who cares a great deal about their music. But you can't expect them to always do the same shit forever. People have been saying "I want it to sound like Dookie / Insomniac / American Idiot / Insert Past Album Title Here again". Well booho. It's not gonna happen and it's time to accept that. "It doesn't sound like Green Day!!" Green Day is not a genre, but a band and they can do whatever the fuck they want and you don't have to like it and you certainly aren't entitled to be catered to just because you like them.

This line I agree with 100%, and I think it perfectly sums up why I'm not a fan of the track. In my opinion, Still Breathing sounds like it's a from a different band entirely. Their other "poppy" singles still maintain the Green Day identity in terms of sound. There is nothing wrong with making a pop song if it still has elements of the band in some way. Call me crazy but I don't listen to Green Day to hear songs that sound like some other band. I love the lyrics, I think they're obviously very powerful, but to me, great lyrics don't automatically make a track awesome. While I may not like the song too much, I love the fact that it seems to be hitting a lot of fans emotionally. I guess i'd rather have an emotional pop song than a meaningless one.
